New types ofMMIC circulators

Circulators can be used to separate trans­ mit/receive (TIR) signals and for two-port tuners. Conventional ferrite devices are not applicable for MMICs. Two new types of electronical circu­ lators are presented in this paper covering the frequency range from 1.8GHz up to 80GHz.
